Question of the Day: Rep. Scott Taylor Being Shady?

Vote now!

The staff of the Hampton Roads Republican representative reportedly collected signatures for an opponent. Huh? Well, a Democratic candidate is already in place, but another Democrat was pushed aside because she has been charged with defrauding the federal government. She decided to run as an independent and Taylor's staff helped her gather signatures to get her on the ballot. One would assume the purpose of helping your "enemy" is to split the Democratic votes.

What do you think about this?

Shady.

Smart.

Both.

Former Governor Terry McAuliffe was among the speakers. Bates guarded McAuliffe as a member of the Executive Protection Unit. McAuliffe was also on his way to Charlottesville at the time of the crash.

Bates' wife Amanda told those in attendance that her husband would have been honored, but that he would have added that he was just doing his job. State Police awarded the Bates' family with silver aviation wings. Bates had been aiming towards earning the wings when he was killed.
